Disappointment in NFL

I do not understand why someone would want to take food or money from someone family. You know they would not like it if it was done to them. What a selfish world we live in. I am speaking on the bounty issue with the NFL New Orleans Saints. This ruins the integrity of the sport on all levels.
Our government has other issues they need to worry about instead of trying to make this issue a federal crime. Maybe this is why our government has it country in the shape it is in; they focus on all the wrong things. Leave this matter to the league commissioner who think has handled this issue in house in a good way. Good job for once to the NFL commissioner! Whatever the government does is just wasting our taxpayer’s dollars because they cannot restore the integrity of the game no matter what they do. It is up to the NFL as a whole to restore the integrity.
Players of the Saints have rallied together to try to move forward with saying they are going to win it all next year. What else can you say? I hear you but it does not make it better or forgettable. I understand the focus to win and move on, but this is going to take awhile just like the "Spygate" issue with New England Patriots. We remember this situation and enjoyed all the puns directed at the Patriots staff and organization. I do not think we will hear too many puns on this bounty issue.
I would not want to intentionally harm another player and possibly end their career. We hear all the time about how player have no money when they leave the game for various reasons. We know the player committing the act would not like it if someone done it to them in return. I am sure they would have the same complaint of taking food off their table and money out of their pocket and away from their family.
The Saints have a saying of "
The punishment giving is just and fair. I was having a discussion with a co-worker who felt this punishment should not have included the head coach Sean Payton. That statement was surprising to me but he is the person in charge. He knew it was going on and takes his blame. Although Coach Payton apologizes it stills does not make this better. His punishment to be suspended for 1 year without pay is just. I will say the government needs to stay out of it. It’s our universe" and the NFL replied it is their universe now. Again, good job NFL with handing out the punishment to fit the acts of the Saints defensive players. Let’s keep the government out of the NFL and let the NFL handle the NFL! Hopefully we can have the NFL see them as human and start definitely thinking of us as fans and how we pay their salary.

  1. Wow, another situation where the gov't gets involved for no good reason. I remember back when there were congressional hearings about steroids/baseball. Really? All that money wasted over something that is regulated by the league commissioners.
